Third Thursday Speaker Series: Northern High School Walkout

September 20 2018 | 6:00pm to September 21 2018 | 7:55pm

Detroit’s Northern High School 1966 Walkout by Ivory D. Williams

Prior to the events of 1967, there was Detroit’s Northern High School Walkout of 1966, which involved more than 2,000 students. Ivory D. Williams, an engaging speaker and storyteller, will share his perspective on the historic student-led boycott for better education and place the event in the context of the “turbulent 60s.” Williams will examine local, national and international social, political and economic conditions to highlight the importance of the quote, “Never doubt the power of a small group of people to change the world, indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Attendance is free, but pre-registration is encouraged, as space is limited. To register for a presentation, please contact Charnae Sanders, Public Programs Coordinator, at 313.833.0277 or charnaes@detroithistorical.org.
